Scotland's first minister has also renewed calls for an independence referendum after Burnham's conference speech.

John Swinney had referred to Andy Burnham as the "last prime minister".

The first minister says he wants to challenge misogynistic behaviour in young boys and strengthen and support young girls.

A former judge will examine the responsibilities of the lord advocate and solicitor general, who are Scotland's chief prosecutors as well as Scottish government legal advisers.
